13.青衣鬼面(1 / 2)

落花辞 若兰之华 0 字 2022-01-11

    昌平十二年七月初七,乞巧节,夜,淮国质子东方祜于南市金灯坊遭遇袭杀,腹部中箭,幸而宫城戍卫军及时赶到,才免遭一劫。

    消息一出,巫王震怒,诏严令戍卫营捉拿凶犯,若遇反抗,格杀勿论。次日,巫王亲自派人将淮国公子东方祜由西市府邸接入巫王宫治伤修养,以示抚慰。

    这一件不大不小的风波,为本就剑拔弩张的四国局势注入了一股新的暗流,淮王更是不远千里,派使臣日夜兼程送来血书,请求巫国上下严惩凶手,保其质子平安。

    然而,整整三日过去,向来善于侦查追剿的戍卫营却没有发现关于那群杀手的一点线索,戍卫营右将军怀墨当职数年来,第一次上书向巫王请罪,引咎待罚。

    淮国质子在巫国遇刺,若有闪失,巫、淮两国关系必将成水火之势,主导这次刺杀行动的人,其险恶用心昭然若揭。巫国朝臣亦是个个心如明镜,趁着疾风未起,都蛰伏作墙根野草,左右观望,伺机待动。

    被巫王留在垂文殿商议了一整晚善后事宜,左丞相南央卯时才自宫门出来,乘轿返回西市府邸。

    此时晨曦未明,东方天空只泛着一层淡青,隐隐可见尚未坠落的星子,南央揉了揉突突发疼的太阳穴,好不容易熬到府门,进去的时候,却发现东厢门窗紧闭,烛火无影,当即面色一沉,招来守门的家仆,问道:“公子呢?”

    那家仆嗫喏半晌,才吞吞吐吐道:“回老爷……公子……公子他昨夜并未回府……”

    “这个不知廉耻的孽障!”当朝左丞相气得脸色铁青,道:“你立刻带人去找,他铁定又在那青楼娼馆鬼混!找到之后,立刻回来报我,今日,我定要扒了他那副风流皮囊!”

    守门的家仆见向来温厚耿直的老爷是动了真怒,不敢耽搁,忙招呼了几个人一起出府去寻人。

    相府大管家南福忙笑呵呵的迎上来,替自家老爷掸衣拂尘,道:“老爷还未用过早膳吧?老奴立刻命人去准备。”

    南央狠狠斜了南福一眼,道:“本相让你拿着家法管住他,你就是这么替本相办事的么?”

    南福一脸苦相,委屈道:“老爷,这公子不仅是公子,他还是咱们巫国的兰台令大人,这公子隔三差五便要去兰台撰史,老奴总不能拿着家法守在兰台吧?那还不被人笑话死啊。”

    南央冷哼,道:“本相不过留宫一夜,这孽障便瞅准机会夜不归府,这消息是谁传给他的你心里最清楚!”

    南福一哆嗦,有些羞愧的垂下头,不敢再多言一句不合自家老爷心意的话。

    由于巫国兰台令南隽公子平时出没风流之地的姿态实在太过引人注目,外加明目张胆,因此,相府的几个家仆几乎不费吹灰之力便打探出了自家公子的下落。

    当左丞相得知他口中的风流孽障昨夜宿于一处名为丹青坊的雅地之时,也不顾平日里矜持谨慎的一代名相形象,当即命南福召集府中身强力壮的家仆,抄起家伙,带着一帮人便浩浩荡荡的向丹青坊冲去。

    丹青坊坊主车娘淡定的开门迎客,柔媚一笑,道:“相爷是要喝茶,还是要赏画?”

    南央打量着丹青坊内部布局,但见丹青卷卷,墨有余香,斗茶的玉台之上,各色茗茶遍列,果真是风集雅极,不由咬牙冷笑道:“金玉其外,败絮其中,便是你们这种勾当!”

    车娘点唇笑道:“莫非,相爷今日是来砸场子的?”

    南央长衫一振,冷冷甩袖道:“无耻娼妓,离人夫妻,败坏民风,果然只知苟活偷生,根本不识礼义廉耻为何物!今日,本相是来替王上整肃国风的!”语罢,他右手一挥,示意身后一干家仆冲入二层搜人。

    大约一刻后,南福悄悄走到南央跟前,低声道:“老爷,除了最东边的墨兰阁,都搜过了。”

    南央皱眉,道:“怎么回事?”

    南福道:“那一间阁门紧闭,敲了许久,都无人应声。”

    南央双掌一砸,道:“那就给本相砸门!”

    虽则阁门紧闭,但墨兰阁之内却是灯火通明,管弦阵阵,莺咛燕语之声不绝于耳。

    南央脸色愈加冷沉发青,南福带人抱团连撞了数下,那阁门轰然而破。

    一片狼藉之中,左丞相凛然步入,拧眉打量着满阁奢靡。

    如此阵势之下,阁内弦乐顿止,粉黛无声,一群美姬匆匆捡起掉落的步摇钗环,退于左右两侧,露出中间一个少年身影。

    南央满腔怒火正待发作,便见那少年举杯回首,面如明玉,俊美无双,一双黑眸光华流转,亮似星辰,此刻,正笑吟吟的盯着他,道:“原来,南相也喜欢这里的姑娘。”

    南央一张脸青了又白,白了又青,憋了半晌,俯身行礼,道:“臣见过世子殿下。”

    黑袍少年缓缓起身,亲自扶起南央,在他耳畔悄声道:“南相看上了哪一个?子沂定亲自派人将她送入相府,何须南相亲自走这一趟?”

    南央乍闻此言,气得面色窘红,拧着脖子道:“请殿下慎言,臣无此庸俗癖好。”

    九辰立刻恭敬作礼,道:“子沂糊涂,以小人之心度君子之腹,望南相海涵。”

    南央扫视一圈,道:“敢问殿下,可曾见过臣那逆子?”

    九辰摇首,道:“昨日,我的确邀阿隽来此品画喝茶,一时忘兴,还强拉他敲了一夜棋子。但阿隽素知南相家法严明,今日一早,便撇下我离开了。”

    南央听他说得言辞恳切,倒也寻不出破绽之处,便怏怏道:“既然如此,臣再去别处寻寻,就不打搅殿下的「美事」了,臣告辞。”

    不多时,墨兰阁朝街的那面窗户从内而开,一个淡黄锦袍的公子临窗而立,远远瞥着南央离去的背影,回身,凤眸含笑道:“殿下救命之恩,臣无以为报。”

    九辰坐回席上,给自己倒了盏茶,睨着他道:“南相耿直善谏,今日,我替你挡下这场风流债,南相回府后,若是心血来潮,写上一谏,将此事捅到父王那里,倒霉的定然不会是你。”

    南隽戏谑含笑道:“殿下不必忧心。若真到了那地步,臣一定出面认罪,替殿下洗刷冤屈。况且,王上坐拥粉黛三千,最解齐人之福,对于此事,倒不一定似臣父一般见地,如此考量,殿下获免的机会还是比臣大上许多的。”

    南隽复又立了片刻,才入席道:“殿下觉得,行刺之人,是哪一方?”

    九辰喝了口茶,缓缓道:“东方祜不懂武功,不过是个手无缚鸡之力的文弱书生,可怀墨赶到时,他只是腹部中了一箭,关键部位完好无损,可见,这群杀手并不想取他性命。我若是明染或西陵韶华,必会一直杀之,彻底挑起巫淮之战,而不是打草惊蛇,做如此费力不讨好之事。所以,此事蹊跷,我并不敢妄下结论。”

    南隽眸光掠过窗外,道:“殿下若想追根究底,只怕需另辟蹊径。”
